Grunhilda

I am looking to buy a second hand pc and have seen this on on ebay

Do you think it looks ok? I'm not technical minded

Thanks for you help.

depends what you want it for.......its not gonna be running small countries but if you just want it for internet and typing letters then fine.

It doesn't have a dvd drive, which may or may not be important to you, the office package sounds like freeware, which will be fine, but the wording is a little misleading. Do you have a monitor/keyboard/mouse, when you add all those in, it's not that cheap. The tower description is misleading too, it's a mini (small form factor) desktop.

£30 cheaper:

We have those PCs at college to open up and fiddle about with, we use them sometimes and they are good enough for using word and the internet.

I have and use the use older version of this.

They are great providing you do not want to add cards into the slots, or need parts as everything bar the hdd is proprietory.

Those CD drives don't tend to last. they are the slimline ones so more ££££.

Think this model has usb2 ports, as mine does not have.

Good news is that extra RAM is a doddle to fit and very cheap from crucial.co.uk

Thanks for the replies folks.

I already have a monitor/keyboard/mouse from my current computer that's just died a death, so it's just the computer bit that I need.
